The ROC Triathlon

Since 2010, the Rochester Triathlon (aka The ROC) is a late summer classic organized by the Rochester Area Triathletes (aka RATs) and held at Durand-Eastman Beach in Irondequoit, NY on Saturday August 24, 2024. The ROC features a shallow open-water swim, closed-to-traffic, super-fast, bike course, and a picturesque run along Lake Ontario and Seabreeze shorelines to the roaring crowds lining the pathway. The ROC is a USAT-sanctioned event offering qualifying slots for the National Championship for all Sprint and Intermediate distances and formats: Age-Group, Athena, Clydesdale, High School, Aquabike, Duathlon. (sorry – no relays). By popular demand, the Duathlon and Aquabike will return for 2024 plus the now famous Open Division heat for highly competitive triathletes wanting a shotgun start, head-to-head battle to the finish line with the podium winners receiving the Overall awards.
